Since the media found out Scott McInnis plagiarized something he was paid $2000 a page for and then shirked responsibility for said plagiarism, Hickenlooper's polling is pulling ahead of his Conservative cribbing opponent for the first time.
But on Scott McInnis' facebook fanpage you can see a few examples of people who don't mind that he did what he did and will still emphatically support him.
What does this show? In part it proves some Republicans don't care about competent work. They don't care about honesty or personal responsibility in their leaders. In the face of uncomfortable facts, some people can manage to rationalize and ultimately discount demonstrations of unscrupulous actions. But this is nothing new, as Allison Kilkenny of Citizen Radio (link on the sidebar) wrote about last week, people would rather cling to some strongly held beliefs, even when evidence show those beliefs to be false.
In addition to that, she happens to have a few paragraphs on cheating:

(editor's note: I screwed this up, it's not a new site, it's an updated site. Still, let's vote for the non-stigmatized logo, mmkay?)
It's been about four months since he announced so this is a GREAT site: Hickenlooperforcolorado.
There is a contest to choose between the two logos. Click on the image to submit your suggestion. I really, really, really hope you don't pick "Hick for gov". I believe that one should only go on beer coasters under Budweiser. Let's let the Republicans make the racist connotations this time around, okey?

(Oh, Scotty boy, the tubes, the tubes are crawling
with evidence, you've no integrity... - promoted by Fong)
 In another edition of Things that Make me Sick, Scott McInnis is flip-flopping on the most sacred of things in life: freedom of choice (get it?).
The Denver Post shows us that it was just last year Scott McInnis was chairman of Republicans for Choice. This year, by coming out in support of the latest rendition of the horribly slaughtered personhood amendment of 2008, he denies having any knowledge of his chairmanship that whatsoever.
Scott, we aren't going to let this go. Not only do you support unconstitutional profiling, you're now playing career politician with women's lives. Set the record straight. You can't just shave us off like some unwanted scumstache.

And he's outraised by Hickenlooper this quarter who has nearly twice as much cash on hand.
GJ Sentinal
McInnis paid nearly $84,000 for a fundraising event to Arena Communications of Salt Lake City; $33,400 to Notion One, a Denver computer and consulting firm; $30,000 to political consultant Michael Hess; $24,300 to Barbara Card, a political consultant; $20,000 to Shamrock Consulting in Littleton; more than $20,000 to two Virginia consulting firms; and $14,452 to his campaign finance director, Jessica Bogar (editor's note: Jessica should change her last name to Bogart).
Hickenlooper has been a skin-flint by comparison.
His biggest expenses so far were for nearly $90,000 to a Maryland company for mail services and $13,450 to On-Sight Public Affairs in Denver.
The takeaway: Mcinnis has no problem donating copious amounts of money to numerous consulting firms and passes the buck regarding charities.
